I recently violated the PDT rule, to which I was told I needed to fund my account over $23k or wait 90 days to be able to continue trading.  This was new to me, so I was pissed and confused.  LOL

However, instead of completely accepting this situation, I wrote a message to my brokerage to see if those were my only options and had to suck it up, or if there were possibly any other things they could do.  My brokerage worked with me, and ultimately lifted the PDT flag off of my account, so I'm back to business as usual.  Be nice to your brokers and they'll be nice to you...at least one time anyways.  ;-)
